Sometimes what you're describing is a valid approach-- once a pattern is clear. This is looking pretty reasonable for Google.
But it seems like a bit of a toxic, pessimistic response in general.
There's other times where a party just screws up. e.g. Apple's CSAM-- once the industry educated them, they took a very different tack. There was no fundamental structural or cultural issue pushing them towards the problematic choices.

Their proposal is pretty much what the EU and UK governments want now :( I think they screwed up because to have my own phone spying on me is unthinkable and I would never have considered another Apple product again. But politics seem to like the idea.

I'm a twisted firestarter, but it's mostly out of a passionately optimistic and generous view of other human beings. Big corporations are not human beings. I think they fail humanity. They have too much power and no accountability. For that I think they deserve all the toxicity and pessimism fitting for what they are.
